Maritime and Coastguard Agency consultation

Maritime and Coastguard Agency is consulting on the draft Marine Guidance Note MGN 681 (M) “Fire safety and storage of small electric powered craft on yachts”.  Consultation closes 9th January 2023. Whilst electric craft do not necessarily represent a greater fire risk than petrol craft, there are considerable differences in best practice for storage, fire detection and fire suppression of such craft, which should be considered when they are stored onboard.  https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-document-for-draft-mgn-681
